the "sudo" command it alows the execution of a single command as root:

EXECUTE 'SH -c "sudo chuser account_locked=true ':@logname:'"'

Subject: [U2] UV calling chuser from application


HI All,

We want to lock out a user's UNIX login id, after three failed attempts
into our application. We are using the following command from the
application that monitors the fail/success of the login attempt at the
application level.
EXECUTE 'SH -c "chuser account_locked=true ':@logname:'"'
This command works great, but then every user needs to be a member of
group 'security', or give everyone access to execute the command, both
of which are a no-no.
Is there a way to give the application access rights to group security?
Is there another way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!
